dohc v6 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 what do i need to do to make my car stop faster. it has 18 on it now so i think a brake upgrade would be a good idea. for a 94 z34 Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Do you have all stock brakes around? If so a cheap and good upgrade would be the 94+ brakes, and the 95+ Front brakes. The rear has better/bigger calipers, and the fronts have bigger rotors overall it makes the car stock pretty good, for W standards. Other than that you could go to RSM and get one of their upgrades but they cost somewere around $1300. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 from what i've heard the '96 brake booster is bigger too, might be something else to consider. other than that SS brake lines and good pads and maybe slotted rotors. Quote
J Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 for a daily driver i wouldn't reccomend slotted, as they tend to eat the pads real quick, but the SS lines are a great idea. I know when i have some cash i will be buying SS lines Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 If so a cheap and good upgrade would be the 94+ brakes, and the 95+ Front brakes. I've done that upgrade, and was pleasantly surprised to see the 95+ front brakes really DOES help! It brakes better than the 94 convertible, and that car has 16" wheels and the bigger booster. It also seemed to reduce warping, because my front rotors almost always warped, even with 94+ rear calipers, but now they don't. Sadly, they're only 11.25" and 1" thick (approximately) which I would hardly consider a "big" brake upgrade. I'm not even sure I would consider those medium sized brakes. It's like going from absolutely tiny brakes to small brakes. For modern GM midsize cars, 12" rotors and 1.25" thickness is the norm. Quote
dohc v6 Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Posted February 15, 2005 i have the 95 front brakes just have not put them on yet. what about brake lines Quote
J Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 stainless steel brake lines, look for them on ebay for a cutlass and they are the ones to use Quote
90TGP Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 Can I use the 95+ brake booster on my TGP? [it has vacuum brakes, moneymaster 3 was removed by previous owner, and I think my booster is the old abs booster.] Quote

Relocate the M/C, and 90TGP you should be able too w.o a problem. ALSO- What advantages does SS lines have over stock, more line pressure? Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 Relocate the M/C HA! much easier said than done. the clutch pedal pushrod would have to line up straight and even if that was doable i'd have to make a new hole in the firewall for it. just not worth the effort IMO. ALSO- What advantages does SS lines have over stock, more line pressure? i think they help prevent the hose from bulging, resulting in a loss of pressure. probably last longer too Quote
